Christian & Kara Fortner
Christian and Kara Fortner are young musicians who want to make the world a better place through music. They both want to learn as much as they can about music education, which is why they started Beyond the Measure! They met as music majors at Hardin-Simmons University and have been married for three years. Christian composes both choral and orchestral works, and Kara teaches 6th – 8th grade choir at a Madison Middle School in Abilene, Texas. They currently reside in Abilene with their Mini Aussie, Lady.
